Most likely i will order one online but the problem is that dell laptops have charger and battery verification type stuff. So i cant purchase a third party battery and have it work. I am trying to find a OEM battery so that it will charge.
If you don't need the mobility, try removing the battery and use just the adapter plugged into an outlet--as a desktop replacement. If the computer works that way, do that when the battery dies and save the $100+ for a replacement and put it towards a new computer. The old laptop will need replacing soon anyway.

The batteries at Parts People are Dell batteries.
